I also agree with some of the previous posts about being able to read txt msgs and see who's calling. I would love to see maybe an aesthetic option for some of the flashy people out there (though I do love the current color scheme). Maybe a little flash of red or yellow on one or two of the band links to catch the eye. Either way i would buy. I love this design and concept!

I would definitely buy a watch with this function. I think the idea of having call, message, email updates (even from your computer, not just your phone) direct to your wrist watch would be useful.

My expectations for it are the followings: - With the E-Ink, to save battery, put the message you want, and when pressing a button, the time/date appears. - Alarm mode with vibration will be also very useful. - Suppose that the caller or msg ID will be difficult to get, so just the 'Incoming Call' or 'MSG' will be fine (as you're alerted you can check your phone directly to see who is). - Glowing light so we can check what time is it at darkest hours of the day ;) - A way to configure how the time/date it's being displayed. With the current design it'll be a little difficult to read it with just one blink when turning your elbow to take a look at the time, vertical and horizontal alignment will be enough. - Horizontal way: 07/30 10:45:32 PM MSG - Vertical way: 07 30 - 10 45 32 - PM - MSG Keep it going as you do! Congratulations! Amazing, really cool design.

Especially the Bluetooth function. Yes it would be nice to see names and numbers but even just an indication of messages and incoming calls would be good. Love the display, slightly bigger would be nice with the option to switch between positive and negative display. What about at night, does it light up, the E-paper that is? Love it! Absolutely love this watch design.

I love it. My only comment would be if the display digits could be larger because they look a bit small on the images. Yeah, this is a great design. I love it.

If this is possible, that would allow for further customization even after the watch has been purchased. We could download different themes or fonts to our PC or to our phone and then send them wirelessly to the watch or via USB.

I don't care at all about the bluetooth phone connection. But I would love the option of offering different fonts like the ebook readers on the market. The easier it is to read, and customize, the better. I agree with thenetherest. I don’t care at all about the bluetooth phone connection.

I often have my phone in my laptop bag and don't hear it because of the noise around me. It would also be very useful to see the phone number on the watch. For an incoming SMS message, displaying who it's from would be useful. The e-ink technology is also very interesting, but I think it could be put to a more interesting use on a watch like this since you're not restricted to location of LCD crystals or LED's. You could provide a few different looking displays set from the preferences. You could even provide an analog watch style as one of the preferences, or save this idea for a different e-ink watch design. :) Since te I really like the idea of the phone call and message vibration/notification via Bluetooth.
